Abstract
In an apparatus and a method for processing description information of multimedia data, in order to reflect a user'"'"'s preference about multimedia data, a usage history of a user is made by adding description information to the multimedia data, in order to manage the usage history efficiently the apparatus includes a server adding description information to the multimedia, and a terminal transmitting/receiving multimedia data to/from the server, storing a user'"'"'s usage history about the multimedia data, grasping a preference of a user with the stored usage history and providing the preference of the user to the server, accordingly multimedia sequences can be efficiently managed with the usage history of the user, a restrictive memory unit can be efficiently used, and grouping of lots of multimedia data can be easily performed by displaying all commonly applicable data as the same result by using common information or application group information without retrieving characteristic information.
